Synthetic Data and Image Processing Tools, Immersive 3D and Digital Contact Tracing Technologies, and Cognitive Artificial Intelligence and Spatial Computing Algorithms in the Metaverse Interactive Environment

Summary/Abstract: The aim of this systematic review is to synthesize and analyze virtual modeling and simulation tools, computer vision and data fusion algorithms, and metaverse assets and services. In this research, prior findings were cumulated indicating that spatial computing and immersive 3D technologies, big geospatial data analytics, and virtual navigation and data acquisition tools optimize interactive virtual environments. We carried out a quantitative literature review of ProQuest, Scopus, and the Web of Science throughout May 2023, with search terms including “the metaverse interactive environment” + “synthetic data and image processing tools,” “immersive 3D and digital contact tracing technologies,” and “cognitive artificial intelligence and spatial computing algorithms.” As we analyzed research published in 2022 and 2023, only 177 papers met the eligibility criteria. By removing controversial or unclear findings (scanty/unimportant data), results unsupported by replication, undetailed content, or papers having quite similar titles, we decided on 30, chiefly empirical, sources. Data visualization tools: Dimensions (bibliometric mapping) and VOSviewer (layout algorithms). Reporting quality assessment tool: PRISMA. Methodological quality assessment tools include: AXIS, Distiller SR, ROBIS, and SRDR.
